Why you'd want to live in Cimarron Hills
Cimarron Hills development spans from the 1960s through the 2000s, which gives the community more housing variety than newer master-planned neighborhoods. The majority of residential stock — approximately 80.9% by NeighborhoodScout analysis — was built between 1970 and 1999. This means buyers will find established neighborhoods with mature trees, larger lot sizes, and homes that have been improved, renovated, and landscaped over decades. The trade-off is that some properties will need roof, HVAC, or window updates; the advantage is that these homes are substantially larger and better-sited than comparable new construction at the same price point. The community has no mandatory HOA — an important distinction for military families and buyers who want to avoid the recurring fees and covenant restrictions that come with most master-planned communities. Cherokee Ridge Golf Course sits adjacent to the neighborhood's western edge, providing a scenic green space buffer and a popular community amenity for golfers. Cimarron Eastridge Park and additional neighborhood parks are distributed through the community, and the proximity to the Powers Corridor means that big-box retailers (Costco, Target), grocery stores (King Soopers, Walmart), medical facilities, and entertainment options are minutes away. The Mountain Metro Transit Bus Route 24 makes stops along Galley Road through the neighborhood, providing public transportation connectivity that is unusual for suburban Colorado Springs. For residents without a vehicle or those seeking to reduce car dependence for daily errands, this transit access is a meaningful practical advantage. The Colorado Springs Airport, less than 10 miles south, is among the most accessible airport locations for any city neighborhood.
